When the individuated, embodied part of Spirit, the Soul, has completed what
it set out to accomplish in a lifetime, it has three basic options: take
on a new life goal (Reincarnation-in-Same-Body), die, or walk out. If the
Soul chooses to walk out, an agreement is made with another Soul to walk-in
and continue the embodiment. This is not possession. It is not a requirement
that a person be a walk-in to ascend. It is simply an individual agreement
and another way of entering onto the planet.

The walk-in experience is so very individual that itís difficult to give
a definitive description. Here is an overview of possible experiences.

Usually, there is a "try-on" period of a few days or weeks or months when
the new soul tries on the body before the actual transfer. The personality
may or may not be aware as it often occurs while sleeping, meditating or
channeling. There may be a feeling of someone hanging around or loss of time.

The new Soul is getting the feel of the body. Remember, some beings coming
in have never been in physical bodies and may need to get the feel of being
so densified. The new Soul is also reviewing the DNA encodements and the
existing energy patterns stored in all of the bodies and deciding what to
keep or release.

Sometimes, right before a walk-in, the personality may feel a sense of completion
with the lifetime. This may manifest as extreme fatigue, severe depression,
or suicidal feelings. This is the personalityís way of interpreting that
a transfer is about to occur.

The personality may or may not be conscious during the actual walk-in. If
unconscious, the transfer often occurs during a deep trance or sleep state.
On occasion, the Soul chooses to manifest trauma to the body such as: accident,
illness, coma, concussion, or emotional shock.

This allows the new Soul to more quickly integrate to a deeper level. Because
all of the bodyís systems are disrupted from the habitual patterns by trauma
they are, therefore, more receptive to the new Soul.

In the past, this was the most common route the two Souls would undertake
for the transfer of energy.

Now, the walk-in process is somewhat easier for several reasons. Everyone
on the planet has begun the Lightbody mutation. For a walk-in, this means
that the physical body is better able to accept a new energy at the cellular
level and the personality can adapt to a new identity. Also, now there are
support systems and integration services for walk-ins so the rationale of
changing through trauma is unnecessary. More and more walk-ins are fully
conscious through the whole transfer.

At the time of the walk-in, the old spiritual, mental and emotional bodies
are released with the original occupant and the new spiritual, mental and
emotional bodies are attached to the physical one. New patterns and emotions
are brought into the etheric blueprint bodies and some old patterns are released.
The etheric and physical bodies are what keep some continuity.

The overall feeling for the previous life experiences is one of neutrality.
Most walk-ins retain life facts without emotional attachments. Memories of
the previous Soulís experiences are much like watching a movie with the emotional
sound turned off. This neutrality often means a feeling of detachment from
emotionally significant people such as: mate, children, parents, and friends.
The old issues, unresolved situations and personal difficulties of the previous
incarnee are often easy for the new walk-in to handle. They are likely to
leave the unsatisfying marriage or unfulfilling job that the previous occupant
could not resolve.

Much to the dismay of the people around them, a new walk-in often goes through
strong changes in personality. The personality is completely malleable at
this time and the new soul tries on new character traits until a good combination
to serve the new life goal is found. Also, changes in personal preferences
are common such as liking different foods, colors, clothes and lifestyle
than the original occupant.

A new walk-in is like a newborn baby. Because the emotional and mental bodies
are "new", they have not yet been imprinted from the environment. Like a
baby, a walk-in is a sponge for the emotions, traits and beliefs of the people
around them. It is vitally important that a new walk-in choose carefully
the people they spend time with for they will be imprinted with those
peopleís qualities and biases, good and bad.

The most difficult situation for a new walk-in is to be around people who
pull on them to be or be like the previous incarnee. This can be very tough
because those people were usually emotionally significant to the previous
soul, i.e., mate, parents, family and friends. They may not realize or believe
that a transfer of Souls has occurred. When these well-meaning people project
their emotions and pictures of the old occupant on to a walk-in, an overlay
of the old energy called "ghosting" occurs in the new energy bodies.
Clairvoyantly, it looks like a double image. This is so stressful to the
physical body and personality that the walk-in may become ill or feel quite
crazy.

The bottom line in the process of the integration is the physical body. Most
of the bodyís consciousness has nothing in its cellular memory banks for
the walk-in experience except, "Iím dying." If the body strongly believes
that it is dying, it may begin to shut down the entire system. Also, the
body may reject the new Soul at a cellular level, much like it can reject
a new heart or liver. This usually manifests as rheumatoid arthritis symptoms
and the pain, swelling and inflammation can be sudden and severe. In extreme
cases, partial paralysis can occur.

The other common manifestation of body rejection is severe allergic reactions
to food, soaps, clothes, plants, household cleansers, the environment, and
yourself. Sometimes, usually in the very beginning, a new walk-in may have
epilepsy-like seizures as the brain waves and electromagnetic functions of
the brain change.

Often, a walk-in experiences psychic or multi-dimensional openings as the
7th (Crown) chakra is usually stuck open from the transfer. Sudden
opening may make a person feel crazy, disoriented or spacey. They may be
channeling constantly and have some difficulty knowing their own energy.
As strange as it may seem, it is really helpful for a new walk-in to wear
hats to protect their crown chakra.

Like a child, there is often an innate spirituality to a walk-in. This
spirituality assists in the integration process as a person may turn to prayer
or meditation to sort out all of the "Who am I?" questions and give the body
a rest.

Most physical and personality symptoms of rejection and disorientation pass
very quickly with a little integration. But the process of releasing the
dysfunctionality and obsolete pictures of reality of the previous occupant
may take years. Strong grief states are common as the body releases these
old energies. The trick is not to resist and express the grief fully as it
comes up. Then it seems to pass quickly.

Most walk-ins have a new life goal and bring with them new skills and abilities
to assist them in accomplishing it. Also, usually an embodiment is chosen
that has skills the new soul can use toward their mission.

If a walk-in was unconscious, there is usually the feeling, "I have something
very important to accomplishif only I could remember what it is." As
frustrating as this feeling can be, having a veil over the life goal for
a year or so can be a blessing. It allows time for integration of the body,
personality, and the lifetime.

When a walk-in is a fully conscious one, he or she often hits the ground
running, so to speak. Usually, the veil over the live work is not present
so they may not take the time to integrate the body. Often, "burnout" occurs
and they may become sick at about the one-year point.

Some walk-ins never know what really happenedjust that they went through
a dramatic life change. The range of awareness spans across the board. Some
Souls may just have a major karma that they wish to complete. Others, perhaps
coming in from other dimensions or universes, may be here to assist in this
planetís transition to Light. There are many reasons for a Soul to walk-in
but the main one is that it is usually quicker to integrate a new Soul into
a new body than it is to grow a body from scratch.

Each walk-in experience has its own unique qualities. A person may experience
all, part, or none of the things described here.

The one thing that walk-ins have found necessary is to be very gentle with
their physical bodies. The body is not a vehicle but a co-creative partner
in our life experiences. It takes time for the physical body to work through
feelings of dying, rejection, abandonment and grief. But when the body
consciousness understands that the walk-in Soul consciously chose this body,
loves this body, and is willing to work as a partner with this body, then
miracles can happen.

Within the first three years it is an asset for all walk-ins to have some
integration assistance.
